Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted
to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning,
there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade -
make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am
I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the
day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm
the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to
get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

There's been a similar Futurama thing around for a while, which grabs a quote from the /. headers [curl -Ism3 slashdot.org | egrep "^X-(F|B|L)" | cut -d \- -f 2- | fmt -w $(tput cols)]. Same deal, but more likely to stop working when someone forgets to pay the bill on the domain. Until then: Cave Johnson!
